I think there should be a rule, if you are better than a team the year before you should be able to keep that team name and no one should be able to use it. Lets say the Boynton Bandits beat the SoCal Bandits CA or finish ranked higher they should get to keep that name and Socal has to find another name. Nothing made me want to beat another team more than them having the same name as our team.

I wish teams would not change their names for no apparent reason to the outside World. Why are the East Cobb Astros now the East Cobb Tigers? Why are the South Forsyth War Eagles-Blue now the Sharon Springs Spartans-Blue?

Isn't this a lot of extra work and cost? update team web site, banner, uniforms, bat bags, fan apparel, logo re-design.

Thanks, but I cant see how having 9-12 teams named Astro's hurts their brand. No biggy, just more stuff to keep track of.

As for the EC Astro's changing their name, ECB is only allowing 13u and older teams to carry the Astro name (protecting their brand). If you look at their website you'll see that there are no longer any teams under 13 carrying the Astro name.
